IM PRCVEMENT IN O'IL-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,738,` dated August17, 1875; application iiled August 5, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAM -Q.ALLIS, ofCleveland, in the county ot'Guyahoga and State of. Ohio, have inventedlcertain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Stoves 3 and I do herebydeclare that the following is'a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which forma part of this specication.

My invention relates to that class of stoves in whichcoal-oilorotheroilis used as fuel; and it consists in constructing thebase ot'such stove with a reservoir on one side, and said reservoirconnected', by a tube formed in the base, with the usual oilreservoirbelow the wicktubes.

In the annexed drawing, Figure lis a longitudinal vertical section, andFig. 2 a plan view, of my improved base for oil-stoves.

A represents the ordinary circular base for oil-stoves, provided withthe wick-tubesB B and oil-reservoir C beneath the same; also, with acircular flange, a, on top around the wick-tubes, to form a pan forcontaining water, the same as many oil-stoves now in use. At one side ofthe base A is formed an additional reservoir, D, which is elevated abovethe plane'of the base, and provided with the I hinged lid E. Thisreservoir D is, from .near

its bottom, by a tube, b, connected with the reservoir C, said tube being formed in the base, as shown.

By means of the elevated reservoir D the oil is made to pass up into thewick-tubes to the same height as the oil in said reservoir, thusincreasing the heat from the flames. y

One serious objection to oil-stoves heretofore is that the oilpenetrates or oozes through all parts of the base, making itdisagreeable to handle the stove, besides leaving grease-spots whereverthe stove stands. To obviate this difficulty I galvanize the entirebase, whereby the pores ofthe iron become tilled, so that the oil cannotpenetrate the same, and ooze through.

Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

In an oil-burning stove, the supplemental reservoir D, elevated asdescribed, in combination with the depressed reservoir C,conmeeting-tube B, where the oil is kept separate from the stove, allconstructed as and for theA purpose herein speciiied.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing-as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses;
